Pastor-Teacher“Pastor” – poimen – a shepherd, one who tends
herds or flocks (not merely feeds them). Total care“Teacher” – didaskalos – instructors, teachers of
the truth in the churches.John 10:1-16 Jesus shows selfless care for the
sheepJohn 21:15-17 First “tend/feed” the sheepThen: “poimaino” shepherd the sheep. ALL that a
shepherd does concerning his sheepThen back to tend and feed in verse 17, giving
them the Word of God
Summary of Pastor-TeacherA speaking gift, so they are to speak the
Word of GodAll do not have this giftThey equip the saints for the work of serviceThey not only teach the Word, but guard or
protect from false teaching and guide their flock by example
Elder or OverseerI Pet. 5:1-4 Not greedy for money, but eager
to serveNot lording over the flock, but being an
exampleI Tim. 3:1-7 Must be able to teach
Jeremiah and EzekielJer. 17:6 Spoke God’s warning to the peopleJer. 2:8 Warning: Those who handle the Law
DID NOT KNOW MEJer. 3:15 God will give Israel shepherds after
His own heart who will feed them on knowledge and understanding (future)
Ez. 34 These were shepherds that only cared about themselves, not for the people
ReviewApostles: Go out with the message and build
churchesProphets: Explain and apply the message
brought by the apostleEvangelists: bring in the lost and speak in
such a way that people are convicted of their sin and see their need for a savior by way of God’s Word.
Pastor-Teacher: Shepherds the body of Christ by feeding them and equipping them for the work of service in the body, growing them up.
